The effect of side chain length on the mesomorphic properties of ferroelectric nematogens
Natalia Podoliak, Martin Cigl, Pavlo Golub +8
The discovery of ferroelectric nematic phase opened new directions in the field of soft matter chemistry and physics. In this paper, we have modified a previously reported ferroele…
The effect of fluorine or chlorine substitution on mesomorphic properties of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Martin Cigl, Natalia Podoliak, Dalibor RepÄek +3
Ferroelectric nematic phase (NF) represents an attractive and foremost field of liquid crystals, combining fluidity with ferroelectricity. NF materials exhibit large polarization v…
Tunable macroscopic defect patterns induced by a low-frequency AC electric field in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Natalia Podoliak, Lubor Lejcek, Martin Cigl +1
Regulation of topological structures and pattern formation is attracting wide interest in the field of condensed matter. Liquid crystals (LCs) represent soft matter with a remarkab…
Dual tunability of selective reflection by light and electric field for self-organizing materials
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, Martin Cigl, PaweÅ Perkowski +3
The oblique helicoidal structure is formed in right-angle cholesterics under the applied electric field. The electric field changes the pitch and cone angle but preserves the singl…
